JULIA REED and Lee McFarren of Our Town were dinner guests of Sigma Omega Sigma Sorority in the home of Lavina Mier and Elizabeth O’Brien at Elkhart on July 20. THE NEW Milford librarian is Mary (Baumgartner) Jurss of Warsaw (see article on front page). When asked if she were related to the Baumgartners in Milford she replied her family was in Europe. Former librarian Mrs. Douglas (Jodi) Brown plans to spend more time with her infant daughter. Jodi served as librarian from September of 1980 until the new librarian was hired. She had announced her plans to leave her post in March but promised she would retain her position until a replacement was found. MANY KOSCIUSKO County residents have been taking in the events at the Elkhart County Fair this week before turning their attention to the Kosciusko County Fair next week.

Pike numbers increase

Northern pike, one of the largest game fish species, are increasing in many natural lakes in the northeast corner of the state according to fish population data collected by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. Pike numbers are up at Chapman, Waubee, Barbee and Dewart Lakes in Kosciusko County, Knapp Lake and the West Lakes Chain in Noble County, the Indian Lakes in LaGrange County, along with Marsh and West Otter Lakes in Steuben County. Biologists are speculating colder winter weather patterns during recent years and high water levels at many lakes may have triggered greater natural reproduction of northern pike. Pike spawn in marshy wetland areas immediately after the spring ice thaw and high water levels during spring runoff periods may have provided more suitable pike spawning' and nursery habitat. High water levels also allow more pike to move from one lake to another.

You can not go to the fair at Goshen without running into a number of residents and former residents. On a recent tdp we watched former resident Tom Pinkerman, now- a Goshen resident and - member of the Elkhart County Fair Board, as he worked hand in hand with other board members to insure the success of the show . on the stage. We accepted a shopping bag from Mrs. Chuck (Pat) Richardson (the former Pat Lyons of Waubee Lake) who was at the fair manning the display of her insurance company. , And, we chatted for a brief time with Mr. and Mrs. Jim Sholtey, Jim. Loretta and Lydia. The Sholtey children are active in the 4-H Rabbit Club. THE HOT temperatures of the past few weeks really put a strain on the area’s ice supply. Most stores and outlets are in short supply. The Elkhart County Fair Board was faced with the problem of fin-

“We’ve seen pike show up in lakes where we didn’t think they were present before,” said Jed Pearson, DNR fisheries biologist, who routinely monitors Kosciusko and Noble County lakes. Pearson netted 36 pike last week at Dewart Lake near Syracuse, compared to three pike found in 1982 and no pike found at Dewart Lake during July 1976, A few years ago, pike were virtually unheard of at Dewart Lake. Rumors of an occasional pike taken at Dewart Lake were never substantiated, Pearson said. Pearson isn’t sure how pike got into Dewart Lake, but they have and are Successfully reproducing there now. Now fishermen there are regularly catching pike. However, many pike are still under the 20 inch size limit, Pearson added, since they are only one and two year old fish. At the West Lakes Chain near Rome City, the pike netting rate increased nearly four-fold this year over the 1976 catch rate, Pearson said. Neil Ledet, DNR fisheries bidagist who monitors LaGrange anCFSteuben County lakes also says pike catch rates during routine fishery surveys have increased nearly four-fold at the Indian Lakes, which include Dallas, Hackenburg, Messick, Westler, and Witmer Lakes located south of LaGrange. The poundage of pike collected increased from four pounds per 100 net hours in 1976 to 16 pounds per net hours in 1982 at the Indian Lakes. Ledet says no pike were found in Messick Lake in 1976 compared to 19 pike found in 1982. Records prior to 1976 indicated a low level pike population was present in Messick Lake but now pike are the dominant game fish by weight in the lake. Both Pearson and Ledet are encouraging fishermen to try their luck pike fishing at these lakes. Pearson said, “You don’t have to go to Canada or Minnesota to enjoy good pike fishing when we’ve got plenty of pike right here in our lakes,” “Pike fishing has never been better,” Ledet added.

FREEMAN Outside Sales Rep. The US dollar is riding high and as a result, it is less expensive to get to Europe than it has been in years. It is estimated that a record 4.1 million Americans will travel to Europe this year. Due to deregulated charter flights, major airlines have had to cut prices to compete. The result is a 30% to 40% drop in air fares. Interest in traveling to Greece in particular, has surged due to the less expensive fares and cheap currency. Spain offers, perhaps, the best bargain for American travelers. If you have been thinking about a European trip, ask your travel agent for details. You are going to be surprised.
